TAYLOR SOCIETY

SAGE's Taylor Society recognizes and honors visionary individuals who have made a timeless commitment to current and future LGBT older adults by giving to SAGE through a variety of planned gifts.

Taylor Society was named after an educator and author - a longtime and quiet SAGE supporter, "C. T." Taylor. C.T. passed away in 2006 and left his estate to SAGE. Although C.T. shunned public recognition, his family asked SAGE to share his story. They hope others will follow C.T.'s example by making planned gifts that help SAGE improve the lives of LGBT older adults.

SAGE is proud to recognize, in their lifetimes, those Taylor Society members who have thoughtfully included SAGE in their estate plans.
